Had some free time to work on some music, and also got some new toys. Decided to try them out and write something.
I think the writing is pretty decent, but something is off with the mix and I can't seem to figure it out. I think I spent twice as much time mixing as writing, but just gave up so I can work on different things. Embertone's libraries are recorded dry, and I've never worked with dry libraries before, so I think that threw me off a bit.
Don't mind the title haha. Couldn't think of anything so I just decided to call it Ember's Rest (Ember's -> Embertone. I'm so clever....)
Criticism always welcome
DAW - Cubase 7.5
Piano - Ravenscroft 275

Thanks for the kind words and review :)
Wow. I really hope some day I get to be half as good as you at this =)
I did, though, expect a more powerful vibrato from the violin, specially from minute 2:05.
That's all I can say, really. This song is almost perfect (fror me, at least), And I'm definitely downloading it with some other songs of yours.

Whoops, somehow missed this review.
Now that you mention it, I agree there is a lack of vibrato from the violin.
Thanks for the review!
great track bud

Thanks pal
Very deep and moving, enjoyed it thoroughly throughout. Good work!
drumdude responds:
Thanks!
Wow, I don't know what to say.
Honestly. I was extremely bored 4 minutes and nine seconds ago. Not anymore. Wow is all I can say. It's a really nice piece. Really gets you in the feels XD. But seriously now, it got me thinking of a whole bunch of real world issues. The piano is pretty fluent, the strings not too overpowering and the only thing I would suggest is that the melody doesn't move too much for a song that's 4:09; which prevents the listener from moving from one thought (or "real world issue")to another. The song clearly portrays either a story or message but had the melody moved more, it would've been stellar. But that doesn't even bother me. I voted 5 and that's probably the first time I've done that. Great job!
drumdude responds:
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, and it got you thinking.
I see what you're saying about moving the melody. Honestly, I thought about it many times while writing this, but opted against it as I have an unfortunate habit of adding TOO much and I really wanted to keep the song more mellow and calming rather than moving things too far and messing up my original idea.
I am honored to receive your first 5 vote haha. Thanks for the review
